5.25" to 3.5" HDD adapter?
So, i've desperately been scouring the internet looking for a dual HDD adapter for the 5.25" bay. I have found the 'Akust 5.25" Bay to 3.5" HDD Adapter', this product that would be perfect however you can only seem to get it from this site: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/15...-0100-AKS.html and shipping to the UK would cost 4x the cost of the product itself, so thats a no go.
Just wondering if anyone in the Hexus community knows of a similar/same product that i can purchase without extortionate shipping costs?
Thanks in advance.

Does it have to be one bay?

edit - guessing for a SFF actually. I can't find one either.

The problem is that a standard-height 3.5" drive is more than half the height of a 5.25" bay, so you'd need to make sure you have room above/below the drive bay for a mounting system like the one Agent linked. Also, bear in mind sandwiching two 3.5" drives close together with limited airflow might cause them to run warm.

That looks ideal Agent! It's a little expensive with VAT+Delivery charge but it would definitely suit my needs, thanks a lot.
Yeah, i agree with you there watercooled, airflow/heat may be an issue but i'm willing to at least try it and see, i'll just have to keep an eye on the temps and intervene if things look to be getting too toasty.
Thanks a bunch guys!

If you get the product name, search in Google and then select shopping it will show you other suppliers. A few are a small amount cheaper, but are less well known. Lambda has been around for years, which is why I linked them.
